E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Any clinically relevant disease or disorder (past or present), which in the opinion of the investigator may either put the patient at risk because of participation in the study, or influence the results of the study, or the patient’s ability to participate in the study 2. Any current respiratory tract disorders other than COPD, which are considered by the investigator to be clinically significant or may influence the result of the study 3.

Malignancy or neoplastic disease within the last 5 years, other than treated basal squamous cell skin cancer or treated cervical cancer in situ 5. Disease history suggesting reduced or abnormal immune function 6. Any clinically relevant abnormal finding in physical examination, clinical chemistry, haematology, urinalysis, vital signs or ECG at baseline, which, in the opinion of the investigator, may put the patient at risk because of his/her participation in the study 7.

Requirement for regular oxygen therapy 12. An exacerbation of COPD (use of oral or parenteral antibiotics and/or oral or parenteral glucocorticosteroids and/or hospitalisation related to COPD) within 30 days of Visit 2 or during run-in 13. Use of oral or parenteral glucocorticosteroids within 30 days prior to Visit 2, or during the run-in period 14. Use of inhaled glucocorticosteroids within 14 days prior to Visit 2 or during the run-in period 15.
